Nigel, I think we may well be interested, but prob not for a full week, a long week end would be cool, maybe join you on the fri/sat and back on monday with everyone.

BTW, what are the dates (must make sure they don't clash with other things) ? What's the plan for the week ?

nigel b

we havent worked anything out really yet nat
dates of the race are 18(excellent day ) to the 19th june for the race
of course you could meet up with us for the days of the race
as were camping we NEED to get there early for a decent pitch

this should be down there as its now ready
THE ASTON MARTIN DBR 9

frog

Nige, it's greg you muppet !

Coming over for the 24hrs sounds like a good plan. I think we may well be up for that.

check out the drag racing on the survival guide
Drag Racing. On "Mad Sunday" campers often compete against each other around the campsites in anything from battered Ford Sierras to Porsches. This is a dangerous occupation for drivers and spectators alike, and not surprisingly the local gendarmes don’t approve.
the battered sierra is a 3dr cossie
